HOW LUCKY YOU ARE

Katie Irani

 
Back in Dehra Dun again, Baba would often call everybody in the evenings to sit round Him.

Once he composed a song of four lines and asked Mani and Katie to sing. It was in Persian, and Baba explained it to them:

Although I am a sinner, I am very lucky
And although I am poor, I don't mind being poor
Please have mercy on this poor beggar
So that I may one day become one with you in your love

Baba specially gave them this song to emphasise how lucky they all were to be with Him. He told them: "You are all like second-hand furniture, and all old stock, but still the important thing is that you are all with Me. Remember that, and how lucky you are. There are so many people all over the world, but I have chosen you few to be here with Me."
